Marlish is a centaur of tribal royalty, and as such, his chocolate brown equine body is usually painted with white hand scrawls and prayers to Sagittae. He has long, wild, unbraided hair that is constrained only into a single long ponytail, and his face is stout and grim. His eyes are almost always squinting towards the horizon, and his skin is covered in scars from endless training. When he is not scouting in his armor, Marlish prefers to go bare-chested, with only a red barding sash and woven blanket to maintain his modesty. His skin is dark and sun-spotted, and the man smells of grass and iron.
HISTORY
Marlish is the royal son of a tribal chief who rules the land of the Golden Vale just east of the Whispering Woods. This tribe, the Uhulen, maintains a mobile camp of yurts and tents which can be packed up and moved in the span of just a few hours. Growi g up as a nomad instilled a reluctance for attachment in Marlish, even to his own people, so when he came of age he was eager to become one of the Uhulen's greatest scout warriors. He traveled far and wide to gain knowledge of bountiful lands and plunderable resources, fighting both man and beast, until he discovered two minotaur brothers straying from their warband. Damionell and Teklesh turned out to be surprisingly level headed for Minotaurs, and a fast friendship was struck, where Marlish often hired them as mercenaries along with a local Satyr on his more difficult undertakings.
